Our Two Cents

If you want the option to use earbuds or speakers, Sena recommends the SMH-A0306 Helmet Clamp Kit. This kit includes an audio cord for attaching earbuds, speakers, an attachable boom mic and a corded mic (earbuds not included).

The attachable boom mic is the preferred choice for many modular/flip up front helmets, here’s why…

Installing an intercom on a modular/flip up front helmet can be a problem if the mounted location of the intercom interferes with the movable part (the front) of the helmet. Simply moving the intercom farther back on the helmet does not work in most cases because the boom mic ends up too far away from your mouth by the time the intercom is moved back far enough that it does not interfere with the movable part of the helmet.

It’s worth noting that this kit is not just for modular helmets, it includes the corded mic which is specifically for full face helmets and the attachable boom mic can be used in full face, modular/flip up front, and open face 3/4 style helmets.
